The Podesta brothers are ready to cook for Hillary

In addition to his political savvy and insider cred, John Podesta’s long been known for his prowess in the kitchen — cooking is a hobby he has said helps him relax. Next Tuesday, Podesta will be applying those culinary skills to raising money for his boss: Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, is scheduled to co-host a food-themed fundraiser for the Democratic front-runner along with his D.C. lobbyist brother, Tony, who has been known to put away a few meals.

The evening event will take place at Tony's Kalorama home, where his contemporary-style kitchen will serve as “stage” for bold-face foodies/guest chefs James Alefantis (owner of Comet Ping Pong and Buck’s Fishing and Camping), Amy Brandwein (owner of City Center’s Italian market/restaurant Centrolina) and Massimo Fabbri (executive chef and co-owner of Posto), as well as John. As usual, the maximum personal donation of $2,700 buys the cushiest face time — here a Chef’s Circle spot that includes a pre-reception with the hosts and guest chefs, as well as admission to the party. Two lower tiers, Head Chef ($1000) and Sous Chef ($500) are also available. No word as to what’s on the menu, but KGB File is guessing Italian, John's favorite style.
